SANTA CLARA – The 49ers selected Clemson punter Bradley Pinion in the fifth round with the No. 165 overall selection.
Pinion was the first punter or kicker selected in the draft. He will compete with three-time Pro Bowl punter Andy Lee for a spot on the 49ers’ 53-man roster. Here’s what he had to say Saturday during his conference call with Bay Area reporters:
Were you expecting to go at a fifth round selection and to the 49ers?
“I didn’t know what to expect to be honest with you. I’m really glad that the 49ers picked me up and I’m really excited to get out there and start my career there.
